| Notes |
- There was a Moses Walker, Jr. mentioned as an appraiser of the estate of Moses Walker. Some researchers believe this was an additional son, but it could be a nephew or cousin. (?) [from Livingston County, Kentucky Estate Records 1799 - 1842, compiled by Brenda Joyce Jerome, 2004]
Rev. War Pension deposition of Moses' brother James Walker says that his brother was born in York County PA in 1762, then moved to Mecklenburgh County, NC at the age of 7. Moses and Mary Walker lived on Goose Creek in North Carolina. He was a farmer, but he also may have been a blacksmith, as he left his smith tools to his son, John. in his will. He left North Carolina following the birth of his first four children, stopping somewhere in Tennessee (it is thought ot have been McMinn County), where three other children were born.
Moses moved to Livingston County, KY from Tennessee around 1806, according to some researchers. Sybil Hunt said they arrived in Kentucky in 1807 and settled near where Rosebud church was later built. However, Moses was a charter member of Bethany-Marion Presbyterian Church and it ws founded in 1803. He was an elder of that church.

July 1817 Deed Book C, page 281
Moses Walker witnessed a deed between John Wilson of Macklenburgh (sic) County, NC to Joseph Newcom. It is likely that Moses Walker also came from Mecklenburg County, NC, and he settled in the same part of old Livingston County as the Wilson brothers from Mecklenburg County.
Nov 1817 Deed Book C, page 318
Moses Walker conveyed to Thomas S. Phillips a tract of land containing 130 acres on the Tradewater River, being part of 300 acres entered and surveyed for Mathew Walker. This indicates that the land was probably assigned to Moses Walker by Mathew Walker, possibly another indication of a famly relationship. Matthew Walker had 380 acres of land surveyed on the Tradewater River on Aug 13, 1807 according to Willard Jillson, Kentucky Land Grants, "Grants South of Green River, page 426.
